Ubuntu 14.04 AMD 64Bit or Ubuntu 32Bit?

[FrankRamiro]

Hi guys,i've been getting problems with video legging on some streams like Espn3 on Ubuntu 14.04lts Amd 64bit,special on FireFox28, and Chrome is ok,then i installed Xubuntu 14.04 32Bit and now don't have none of those issues.

My question is Ubuntu 14.04 AMD 64bit instead of Ubuntu or xubuntu Intel 32bit might it be the cause of these issues?, since my machine is

Lenovo Intel core(tm) I5 2400 CPU 3.10ghz ,3.8Gib Mem
It has Intel integrated HD 2000 but i've got and run an ATI AMD 6450 Video Card with fglrx video drivers

I Mostly use PC to stream live TV.

Can someone tell me if i'm running the wrong Ubuntu ISO?,
should i run Ubuntu 32bit instead of AMD64Bit? thanks

Are you running a version of Ubuntu 64-bit that's installed on the hard drive? In that case, run the software updater, which should then provide Firefox 29, among other updates.
Is the Adobe Flash browser add-on also installed? Chrome includes Flash; Firefox would require Flash to be installed separately.

I'd expect the change from Ubuntu to Xubuntu to be the cause of a speedup. Unity is pretty damn bloated and can get bogged down if you don't have a decent GPU. XFCE as shipped in Xubuntu is much lighter.

I wouldn't expect there to be any huge performance difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, if anything 64-bit will be faster because it can assume more optimized instructions are available (SSE2 and the like).

Sounds like a plugin problem. That cpu shouldn't have any issues with streaming if everything is running right.
